War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

The purple-clad young man stood in the Extreme Martial Arena with a calm expression as though everything that had just transpired was insignificant. It was as though he had long predicted this outcome.

“I already gave you a chance.”

The purple-clad young man’s words reverberated in everyone’s ears. None of them expected him to kill Qi Yu so effortlessly. Since Qi Yu did not cherish the chance given to him, he could only die.

Under everyone’s horrified gazes, Duan Ling Tian looked at Tang Wu Yan and asked, “When will the results for the Heavenly Stairs Battle come out?”

“What?” Tang Wu Yan was still in shock. When she finally regained her senses, she hastily told Duan Ling Tian about the day the results would be released.

“Alright, I’m leaving first then,” Duan Ling Tian said with a nod. Then, he teleported away under everyone’s eyes, leaving a bloody mess behind.

As soon as Duan Ling Tian left, a commotion broke out immediately.

“Heavens! That Duan Ling Tian from Skywind City’s Hidden Fog Academy is so strong?”

“He killed Qi Yu so quickly. Did you see how he did it?”

“His sword attack seemed so simple, and yet, Qi Yu couldn’t defend against it.”

“I didn’t see it clearly so I don’t know what happened exactly.”

Most people could not see how Duan Ling Tian had killed Qi Yu with his law of space’s triple Fused Profundity.

“Is this the difference between the Four Supreme Laws and ordinary laws?”

Some people thought Duan Ling Tian’s strength came from the law of space, and some people thought otherwise.

“Although the Four Supreme Laws are stronger than ordinary laws, the difference in strength isn’t so wide. Perhaps, Duan Ling Tian’s overwhelming strength is due to his bloodline power?”

Even Tang Wu Yan was confused. Hence, she sent Duan Ling Tian a message, asking, “Duan Ling Tian, how did you kill Qi Yu earlier? The law of space shouldn’t give you such overwhelming strength, right?”

Duan Ling Tian replied, “I used the rudimentary stage of the Sword Dao I’d comprehended.”

At the same time, Elder Peng and another inner elder who were on duty at the Extreme Martial Arena had also figured out that Duan Ling Tian had killed Qi Yu using the Sword Dao. Since the others were quite a distance away, they did not hear the two inner elders’ surprised gasps.

…

“Compared to using two triple Fused Profundities, the Sword Dao is more low-key,” Duan Ling Tian muttered to himself when he returned to his room.

Then, he brought out the five Auspicious Pills that the Zhang clan had given him and consumed them all at once. With his talent, he would have been able to break through and become a King of Gods if he had nine Auspicious Pills. In fact, any gods would have been able to become a King of Gods with nine Auspicious Pills. There were many advanced gods in the Realms of Gods who directly became Kings of Gods after consuming nine Auspicious Pills.

It did not matter to Duan Ling Tian that he did not have nine Auspicious Pills. After all, five Auspicious Pills were enough to boost his cultivation base, bringing him closer to a breakthrough.

He had rushed back because he wanted to consume the nine Auspicious Pills and cultivate.

Duan Ling Tian had only decided to use the Sword Dao, the Weapon Dao of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth, when he was making his way to the Extreme Martial Arena earlier. He, naturally, did not reveal his full comprehension of the Sword Dao and only showcased the rudimentary stage of the Sword Dao. After all, being able to comprehend the rudimentary stage of a Weapon Dao could also be attributed to luck and not just talent alone. Since his comprehension of the Sword Dao was rather profound now, he could easily conceal his strength.

Since he wanted to keep a low profile, he thought it was better to use the Sword Dao. It was more low-key compared to using two triple Fused Profundities. He would only attract jealousy, hate, and trouble if he were to show his true strength, after all. The prodigies were easily jealous, and he had no support in the Hidden Fog Sect since he did not plan to acknowledge a master, hence, it was better to keep a low profile.

Nonetheless, he would not keep a low profile regarding some matters. For example, even if it would attract attention, he had been determined to kill Qi Yu. He killed Qi Yu not only because Qi Yu wanted to kill him, but also to send a message to others like Qi Yu who harbored ill intentions. He wanted everyone to know that he was not a pushover.
